ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

I'm Getting Arrested! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spill has 1.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of I'm Getting Arrested!'s written reviews are positive against 65% of Spill's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

I'm Getting Arrested! ships an update every 6 days, Spill every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
